Day One of HCG

Current Weight: 182.8
Injection Spot: Upper Outer Right Thigh

I took my first injection today, and followed through with stuffing my face. I ate till I felt full. I was a bit shocked by this part of the "diet" but after doing more and more research I found that those who skipped this part tended to lose less than those that went through with it. So here we are, chunky still! Ha. This thing better work for me, because I have gotten incredibly discouraged lately. :( I did decide to do the 25 day cycle of HCG this time around with 200iu injections a day. It is said to be incredibly aggressive in compared to even 175iu, so we'll see! This girl definitely wants aggressive! \

I haven't decided on my "goal weight" as of yet. I am a bit hesitant to do so because I feel like I may know if I have reached my goal once I get there. The number on the scale isn't what bothers me, it's the way I look, so depending on where the fat is coming off of (tummy needs to go mainly!) then it will depend on where I want to be with a number on a scale. I am leaning towards trying to get down to 130, but I feel like that is a bit of a jump at the moment so I am going to go with a "short term goal" of getting down to 165. I think at the moment that is incredibly reasonable! Which would mean I need to lose 17.8lbs. That's not terrible. :) Let's make that my short term goal to lose during this 25 day cycle of HCG.

The injection seemed to hurt and burn a bit. I wasn't a fan, and I had my husband do the injection for me because I know I would be a baby about actually pushing the injection in! So he got to be the bad guy! :P That's all, I'll update again tomorrow!



Short Term Goal: 165
17.8lbs to go!
